So I forgot to check if my babies were good friends with both parents before aging them up - is that a fail? When doing some practicing earlier, every baby that I had was already good friends with both parents immediately after arriving home from the hospital. (Not sure if this is the default or the result of something I did. I don't play with babies much). But this time I completely forgot to check - probably because it was past my bedtime but I was keen to have the birth & age up the baby/babies before logging off for the night.
I can look in my previous save (made after the babies were born but before I aged them up) and as it turns out, they were both good friends with their parents at that point as per usual, but it seems slightly cheaty to look it up retroactively. What should I do? Just keep going, restart from that save after the babies were born, start over completely, DNF?

There are also a couple of other points I'd like some clarification on.
1) By "stay at home" you just mean that sim can't get any kind of job/career and they must have a family aspiration & family oriented, yes? It doesn't mean that the sim literally cannot leave the home lot? (The earlier answers about going to other worlds/the spa seem to indicate that leaving the lot is okay, but I'd like to be sure).
2) This part of the general rules: "Options - all default settings: Autonomy > Full; Auto Age (Played Sims) > Yes; Auto Age (Unplayed Sims) > Yes; Sim Lifespan > Normal. "
Do I have to reset all options to default or just those four listed? I just discovered tonight that restoring the default settings with the button in the options menu will turn off the sims 3 camera and also uncheck "traditional social menu" and "show whims". I always play with these three options checked so I turned them back on - am I breaking the rules by using them? I doubt I could stand to play without the sims 3 camera to be honest. The camera and the social menu settings shouldn't really make any difference to gameplay anyway, but showing whims (or not) could have an impact.

Also, hello!
I've lurked on these forums for ages, sometimes doing past challenges for my own entertainment. While I haven't participated in an active tournament before, I've still had many hours of entertainment from various challenges made for past Sims 3 & 4 tournaments. And there are still others that have caught my interest which I'll probably try at some point. So I'd like to thank the challenge team (past & present) for coming up with so many great challenges over the years!
(I thought about trying to participate in the tournament last year but what with being busy in real life and not having most of the packs yet due to being a very late adopter, it never ended up working out.)
